A condensed, hand-rendered display face with thick, brushlike strokes and frequent swelling and tapering. Edges are ragged and uneven, with irregular counters and occasional interior voids that feel carved out rather than cleanly drawn. The baseline and cap line read mostly steady, but individual letters wobble in width and stroke distribution, producing a lively, inconsistent rhythm. Round forms (O, Q, 0) appear roughly oval and textured, while verticals often look dragged or scraped, giving the alphabet a rough-ink, distressed silhouette overall.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as posters, titles, headers, and packaging where the distressed texture can be appreciated. It works well for horror, Halloween, punk/garage themes, indie games, and energetic promotional materials, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The font conveys a gritty, handmade attitude with a mischievous edge—like hurried lettering made with a loaded marker or brush. Its texture and wobble add tension and drama, leaning toward eerie or punk energy while still feeling playful and informal.
The design appears intended to mimic rough brush or marker lettering with deliberate wear and ink breakup, prioritizing attitude and texture over uniformity. It aims to deliver instant character and a distressed, handmade feel for themed display typography.
Texture is a primary feature: many glyphs show chunky fill, torn-looking contours, and small irregular notches that create strong patterning at larger sizes. Spacing and glyph widths vary noticeably, which reinforces the hand-drawn character but can make long passages feel busy. Numerals share the same rough construction, with bold, irregular shapes that read best when given room.
